That Antifa guy the facial recognition supposedly caught false-flagging the Capitol yesterday turns out to be a well known QAnon douche from AZ.
Longtime Arizona QAnon supporter in horned helmet joins storming of U.S. Capitol
Among the supporters of President Donald Trump who mobbed their way into the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, one – unmistakable in his fur, horned hat and painted face – was Jake Angeli, a QAnon supporter who has been a fixture at Arizona right-wing political rallies over the past year.
Angeli was seen in photographs from Washington, D.C., amid protesters who turned violent and stormed the building, causing both chambers to suspend their intended action of the day: certifying the results of the presidential election for former vice president Joe Biden.
This dopey photo is making the rounds as if it offers some kind of proof.
The three people in that photo:
- Jake Angeli, the QAnon douche from AZ
- Jason Tankersley, founder of the Maryland Skinheads
- Matthew Heimbach, National Socialist Movement

I'm looking at the same news you are. I just have different opinions of it. Hyping that up as a "Coup attempt" is akin to hyping up the BLM riots as "Revolution attempts". Then again, maybe they were revolution attempts and the whole protest at the Captiol was an attempted coup. Just really poorly executed all the way around. Seems more like a whole bunch of people that were fed up with specific things in our country. For BLM, it was how they are treated or perceived to be treated. For the mob at Capitol hill it was ??? beats me, other than Biden bad, Trump good? Then again, perhaps it was a small sampling of racist bigots that wanted to cause trouble. I mean, there were definitely some people there that have definite racist motivations. The main difference I see between the BLM riots and the mob at Capitol Hill is that one was more well placed. Whereas the BLM riots tended to affect innocent civilians and businesses, the Capitol mob, was protesting at the right place. Then again, maybe there's too much racism / black man bad syndrome, for a whole bunch of black people to show up at the Capitol and not get gunned down like some Tiananmen Square massacre.
As far as the election goes, I have no idea who to believe. I certainly don't condone the actions of the mob at the Capitol. I don't even know, if they have a leg to stand on. What I do know is that for about 4 years now, we've been hearing about how the previous election was so corrupt. But, this year's election? It was the Most Secure Election Ever, because the Democrats got their man elected. There's a whole lot of cognitive dissonance going on there.
For the record, I also don't condone the actions of the mobs in the BLM riots.
I would love, if we could all just get along. Unfortunately, that's not something that just happens though. People have to be willing to talk, to make compromises where you can, and to work things out. The media whips everyone up into a fury, because ratings and money. Then, all you have is a bunch of people that don't get along, that are mad at each other. Not, calm, rational minds, that are willing to work things out. Frenzied, misinformed, racist people, on both sides of the aisle.
